If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 7 and live in India, you can check for the new update by heading over to Settings > Software update and tapping Download and install. Once the update is fully downloaded on your device, tap the Install now button. Your phone will then restart after a few minutes.
This update brings lots of new and improved features and a slightly refreshed UI design language. It also brings new and improved Galaxy AI features, AirDrop compatibility, a completely customizable Quick Panel, automatic lock screen layout, and more lock screen clock widget customizations.
